The Criminal Who Missed The Chance Poem by Jordan Legaspi

The Criminal Who Missed The Chance



From the gate of the great city, Jerusalem
He was wounded with physical pain
But what could it be for him, an identified villain;
While on the same gate another man receive the blame
He was wounded straight into the heart, he was left
But what is it for them; he is an identified victim;

Ha, ha, ha, look at him –the preacher of what he claim truth!
Ha, ha, ha, look at them –the fools marching to their death!

At the foot of the mountain, Golgotha
He was afraid to face his final days
But what he could do but sigh and curse them;
While on the same mountain, another man has to climb
He was grasping for breath to complete his promise
But what is it for; he is a criminal like them

Save your self messiah, save your self king!
That is for you brutes, enemy of the law!

On the tree tied and nailed, crucified
He was in distress, angry to himself and to his friends
But what he can do, the eyes of the law is fixed unto him;
While on the same tree another has to claim
He was on the brink of death seeing but only love
But what is it for them; he is a fool that deserves to die

You are the messiah save yourself and us!
You are the son of God show them you power call your angels!
